Broke: Rams lesbian awakening was Emilia
Woke: Natsumi Schwartz was Rams lesbian awakening
…wanna elaborate a bit??
Oh I could elaborate on it so much
Like at first I simply thought it would be funny since Ram would be so pissed that she would find out because of fucking Barusu but the more I think about it the better it gets.
It's very interesting and fun to think about how Rams perception of her own sexuality would change through the experience of finding a fem-presenting Subaru attractive, ESPECIALLY bcs of Subarus parallels to Roswaal (I love Roswaal as much as the next guy but you cannot tell me that Rams crush on him doesn't kinda read like comphet).
Does she realize that she may have held a different kind of affection for Roswaal? Does she view subaru in a different way now, and if yes, how does that affect their relationship? That is also, of course, dependent on how you interpret Natsumi (is it drag, genderfluidity, gender non-conformance, or something else?) which adds another layer of complexity to this topic.
Overall, I think she wouldn't get it at first, like at all. I think it would make her flustered and bewildered and also angry and disgusted, at who she doesnt know herself though. She shows none of that, of course, besides for some snide comment about Barusu, though lacking in force compared to her usual insults.
I think she would flee the scene, so to speak, mutter something about chores that need to be done. Subaru, of course, knows that that is BS and follows after her. Alone. And confronts her because he's worried. Alone. Just the two of them in a storage room the size of a tatami mat. Alone. While she's feeling things she doesn't understand at all, which she thought she would understand. Alone. Why is he so close? Why does he look so worried? They are alone. Why does she feel weird looking at him, referring to him as "him"? Just the two of them. Why now? What difference does a dress and some make up make?
To her, he will always be just some little puppy dog blindly following his master, sometimes rarely being of some worth, no matter if he looks decent in a dress, and acts in a way that makes her knees weak, and has a face all of a sudden that makes her breath quicken...
It should not make her feel this way to be alone with him, or her. No, him. She cannot get that confused. That is Subaru, even if his appearance is barely recognizable, and his mannerisms, which once annoyed her to no end, suddenly come across as charming.
He tries to reach out to her, she slaps her hand– his hand away. Taking a deep breath and hiding it as a sigh, she calms her nerves, tells her that she's- dammit. Tells him that she's alright and that even if something was wrong, Barusu would not be able to do anything to help anyway. As she tries to leave though, Natsu- Barusu grabs her hand firmly, someone she has seen with a worried look so often as Barusu should not stir any emotion within Ram at all, but that genuine look of worry on her face makes Ram nearly stumble, if she weren't so graceful and refined a lady.
...maybe she wasn't so graceful after all.
Because in the next moment she couldn't hold back, she slammed Natsumi against a wall, albeit with more care than she would give the usual Barusu, for some reason. To have her below Ram, that is how it was meant to be, it gave her satisfaction, looking down on this. Cute. Thing.
Not cute– Disgusting. That's what she meant. Natsumi stammered something about a surprise kabedon, some other nonsensical term she made up. Ram hates that she enjoys seeing Natsumi flustered. Usually, she would threaten to go tell Emilia-sama, but why did the thought of sharing this with Emilia-sama make her stomach hurt?
Ok anyway yeah you can imagine the rest. I dont think she would take the realization well at all, but also be glad that she can work through that with Subaru, someone she trusts deeply. I also think it would illicit some, at least to him, strange emotions to have a girl fall for him as Natsumi Schwartz, would be fun if that was the thing that made him realize Natsumi may be more to him than just a drag persona.

julius unknowingly taking a bat to what little is left of subaru’s self worth and just shattering it to pieces: i’m being so helpful :) i hope me and subaru can be friends without him getting possessed in this timeline :)))
(meanwhile, ferris is fighting for their fucking life because subaru hasn’t internalized the concept of not diving headfirst off of cliffs to solve all his problems)
The really bad thing here is that EVERYONE in the Back To Zero IF can basically be described as “attempting to help, rolling a critical fail.” Emilia refusing to let him anywhere near her for fear of him falling back into the habit of repeated self-sacrifice for her sake, Rem distancing herself from the guy she once dragged straight into a codependent relationship, Reinhard attempting to be a firm guide instead of letting him fumble his way directly off a cliff, Wilhelm trying to encourage Subaru to Not Become A Fucking Knight — and of course Julius trying to actually Teach him things instead of waiting for him to learn everything the hard way, they’re all TRYING to help. Problem is, they’re all fumbling in the dark for a solution here and every single one of them is landing crits against Subaru’s already piss-poor self worth issues.
The difference with Julius is that, on top of All That, he keeps accidentally giving Subaru the impression that he really wants to fucking torture him or something. This is not helped by the fact that their “duel” was WAY WORSE this time around because Julius panicked, and now Subaru is already terrified of him. So, that horrible first impression combined with what certainly sounds like threats to kidnap him/force him to work as his personal servant/treat him like a chewtoy is giving Subaru the impression that Julius is not just a terrifying sadist, but also one that has it out for him specifically.
(And yeah Ferris is not having a good time. He’s more sickened by the concept of Return By Death itself than basically anyone else, he’s PISSED at Subaru for how he’s treating his life right now, and he keeps having to work with everyone else to drag Subaru back from throwing himself face-first at every remotely lethal obstacle like some sort of rabid tarsier. He’s starting to wonder if maybe there really is a Hell.)
I think one of the most interesting characters to watch in this au might be Priscilla. Because since the Vollachians know of Subaru, everyone must know up until arc 7 at least. I think at that point Subaru should meet the criteria for Priscilla to deem him "beautiful" already, and if he does then she'll probably want to have him around!
Could you imagine that from Subaru's pov? This beautiful girl he met like two days ago who was actually pretty kind to him even if she was really mean, took him to the Royal Selection Ceremony when she had no real reason to, has a knight who's an isekaied person like him, made an excuse for him to be at the Ceremony by clinging to his arm and now she shows up at his lowest point to try and take him under her? Arc 3 Subaru is absolutely going to think he's got another "love interest" and somehow going to get kicked in the face again.
Image that makes you to go ‘wahoo’ and ‘yippee’!
"Time loop stories as an allegory for grief" is great and all but love love love when a time loop is entirely self-inflicted and it quickly becomes apparent it's a sort of anxiety disorder driven savior complex.
C'mon, save 'em all. You're the only one who can. :D
I lovev re:zero so fucking much bros...
The way Orv will dangle the basic premise in front of you like a set of keys and have you going "Ha! So Joonghyuk is the novel's protagonist but Dokja is OUR main character." and you're so busy enjoying that layer of meta text that you don't notice their other hand winding up the Han Sooyoung hammer to whack you with.
